Guild Wars 2

“Guardians are good at 1v1 it’s just we have to try harder than other classes because we don’t have the mobility, CC, stealth etc that other classes have that allow them to take a breather before getting back in the game.

Guardian is a very ‘once you’re in you’re in’ kinda class and the only real options are killing everything or die trying."

This guy>They got pretty good mobility with the right weapons. I run with sword and a 600 range tele every 10 seconds is really good. 1200 every 20 seconds is still better than a dual-traited Mesmer Blink (reduce cooldown + increase range). With a GS, you’d be getting 1200 every 15 seconds. Not bad, granted there are targets to select." Is just tyring to make up for the lack of our mobility, we are subpar in mobility in this game compared to every other class. Dont let him fool you.

Please, please tell me you’re trolling. I have every class in the game at level 80, if you’re serious you have no idea what you’re talking about. Please play an engineer some time, or if you really want to feel slow, a mesmer.

Sword 2, GS 3, Staff 3, Retreat, SY! and the fact that boon duration is actually a very worthwhile stat for a number of viable builds means that if you’re ever lagging behind someone who’s not a thief, warrior, or ranger, you’re not using your kit right.

The only area where Guardians are even slightly lacking, balance wise, is build variety. We’re a top tier class. My warrior would be unstoppable with Guardian tankiness, my ranger would kill for our condition removal, and so on. We can’t have everything dude, be realistic.

On the bright side, they did explicitly say in the patch notes that this was a first step and they were looking at more comprehensive changes to address various camera issues… so be optimistic

True, but Jon Peters also specifically said in another thread that they were not planning on implementing changes to the FOV.

Hahaha, thanks for the bump. Nah, just sucks cause I can only play for around half an hour before I start getting a headache. I’d like to be able to do WvW and dungeons and stuff without having to brutalize my liver with Advil every time, ideally.

Plus FOV sliders are kinda the industry standard and it is absurd to NOT include them, so there’s that too… :P

It’s seriously not doing anything for those of us with FOV issues.

I love the game, but it hurts me to play it. Physically. I get harsh eyestrain and headaches from playing this game, and I don’t get that from any of the other games I’ve played… At least not the ones with an adjustable FOV.

I know there are a lot of people out there who are in the same position. Let’s speak up, guys.

ArenaNet needs to recognize that this isn’t just an aesthetic thing, or people seeking to have some sort of advantage. This is a health concern. We need an FOV slider, and we need it ASAP.

I agree 100% with the original post. I am a casual gamer but even I find a total lack of things to do since they capped everything. I feel so frustrated cause this game has been so good.. up until I reached level 80 and realized… what’s left? I sincerely hope they find a way around this dilemma with the bots that doesn’t hinder our personal enjoyment.

I don’t understand. How are you a casual gamer AND hitting the caps? Honest question, not trying to attack you or anything, I just can’t comprehend it. I play the game pretty much as a job, bare minimum 4 hours a day, and I’ve yet to hit caps.

Now granted, I pretty much just do whatever is appealing to me at the moment, because I find the notion of repeatedly burning my way through 1 piece of content ad nauseam to be antithetical to my idea of fun, but did they seriously set the caps so low that a casual gamer can run out of things to do in their limited playtime?

Well ive hit 80 because it’s easy to hit 80 which is fine by me. I don’t know what you are doing and why you haven’t reached cap yet and frankly that is none of my business. But to say that I am not a casual gamer (or hint it) because I have hit the cap after the game has been out for almost a month, is for a lack of a better word- naive.

Now on to your question. With regards to having stuff you can do when you are capped, sure you can do stuff, but the rewards for doing those are just not appealing. Let’s say I want to have fun, so i run a dungeon with my friend. After completing the dungeon I spend 5 silver on repairs and make 2-3 silver from the dungeon run. I am actually at a loss from running a dungeon instead of getting rewarded. Try doing dungeon runs now and get back to me.

Nah man, I didn’t say I’m not at the LEVEL cap. People in this thread are complaining about karma caps, anti-farm code loot caps, not the level cap.

I’ve been 80 for a few days. I run dungeons when my friends feel like it, as I did while leveling. I go for zone completions when I feel like it, as I did while leveling. I craft when I feel like it, do DE’s when I feel like it, go gathering when I feel like it, WvW, structured… etc.

What I’m saying is, continuing to play the game as I played it 1-80, I haven’t run into any of this stuff, and I’m wondering what other people are doing that they’re running into these karma caps and anti farm code. I get the feeling that some people are trying to force a square peg into a round hole here.

I don’t understand why this wasn’t in the game at release.

This. It fits the style of combat so well, and it looks like it fixes a lot of the issues with the targeting system.

Pwetty pwease Anet, we’ll love you forever if you put this in!
